The shop owner thought for a moment and agreed.
While he was a shrewd businessman, he didn't want to go back on his word after making a deal. That would ruin his shop's reputation.
He led them to the back of the shop and took out the Chilean king crabs.
Luke pretended to examine them for a moment, before he waved his hand. "Pack them up." He had already confirmed with Sharp Nose that the king crabs were absolutely fresh, or he wouldn't have paid so much money for them.
Although he jokingly said that this old man was very bad, the quality of the seafood was indeed good, which was why the shop owner dared to sell them at such a high price.
After getting the harvest, Luke and Selina returned with Gold Nugget.
The seafood they bought would either be refrigerated or eaten while they were still fresh. Also, there wouldn't be enough space in the car.
In order to buy these things today, they had specially taken a detour and driven a secondhand Ford from the airport to transport the seafood, precisely because they didn't want the car to be covered in the smell of seafood.
It wasn't even seven when they returned home.
Luke led Selina to sort out the seafood.
Gold Nugget whined crazily as it scuttled around them, as if to say, "I want a seafood feast."
Compared with Luke and Selina, Gold Nugget actually preferred to eat raw, especially seafood.
All the fish that Luke had dropped last time had been eaten by it. Not a single one had been wasted.
Selina, who felt more sorry for Dollar, secretly threw prawns into Gold Nugget's mouth.
Gold Nugget was like a pistachio that didn't spit out its shell, and ate one after a few chews.
Luke simply reminded her, "Boiling prawns is quick and convenient. Don't keep feeding it this."
Selina thought for a moment and realized that he was right. She threw crabs, sea urchins, and tuna to Dollar instead.
Luke fell silent.
Generally speaking, Gold Nugget only enjoyed crabs and sea urchins, and nobody fought it for them.
He also didn't buy bluefin tuna, which was rare. He only bought yellowfin tuna and albacore tuna.
Also, tuna was best made into sashimi, which could be eaten raw.
They weren't small, and Luke could only get some sashimi for himself and Selina to try. The rest was all for Gold Nugget.
After all, it liked seafood raw!
After working for more than ten minutes, Luke and Selina finally moved everything into the new super large freezer.
Yes, there was now a large freezer in the house. It was the kind that could store a cow, and it was placed in the basement.
Luke hadn't had this thing at home before he went to the South Pole.
So, it wasn't Luke who had bought it, but Gold Nugget.
Luke wasn't too curious about Gold Nugget's claim that it was the one who bought the freezer.
The most it could do was drag Selina along and choose her to pay. This kind of operation was too simple. There was no room for imagination at all.
After putting the ingredients on one side, the boiled prawns on the other side were also done.
After the ingredients arrived, as long as the two fellows didn't eat to their heart's content, they would feel uncomfortable for the entire morning.
That feeling was like playing a game and was missing the last monster's EXP before leveling up.
Then, Luke made tuna sandwiches, which he rarely did, and made a lot of them in one go.
Selina quickly wrapped the sandwiches in paper and stuffed them into a brown paper bag before putting them into the food box. "Are we delivering lunch today?"
Luke shrugged. "It's rare for me to buy seafood. I'm too lazy to bake pastries. "
Selina chuckled and didn't object to his laziness.
Making sandwiches and pastries was like making instant noodles and handmade noodles, although sandwiches were much more expensive than pastries.
Picking up the food box, Luke and Selina entered the Major Crimes Division at 8: 45 pm.
Seeing Luke return, everybody smiled and nodded in greeting.
As for what Luke had been up to recently, nobody asked. Everybody knew that he often went on missions that needed to be kept secret, so nobody asked.
Selina greeted everybody and helped herself to the tuna sandwiches.
Everybody was quite happy.
Compared to the fast food outside, this tuna sandwich was a rare opportunity to eat.
Billy King, the old Chinese guy, was the most gluttonous. He opened the bag and looked at the tuna in the sandwich, before he said with a smile, "This fish is very good. Where did you buy it?"
Selina said, "The seafood market in San Gabriel Valley."
Billy King clicked his tongue and gave her a thumbs-up. "You're truly a connoisseur." He left with the sandwich in satisfaction.
Watching the old guy leave, Selina couldn't help but ask Luke in a low voice, "Why do I feel that he looks a lot like the seafood boss?"
Luke chuckled. "Billy King is only 39. He's not an old man."
Selina pointed at him. "That's what you said. I didn't."
Luke: "…"
They then went to Elsa's office.
Elsa had naturally seen them, and wasn't surprised by Luke's appearance.
Putting away her and Dustin's fish sandwiches, she said, "There haven't been too many tricky cases recently. The Stark Fair suddenly improved law and order in Los Angeles."
Luke said with a smile, "The D.A. and the judge must be cursing, right?"
Elsa shrugged. "Of course. The D.A. has dozens of suspects to convict. The judge has already told HQ many times that they don't want us to step up our enforcement. "
Luke nodded. "That's good. Right, boss, why don't you come to my place for dinner this afternoon? "
Elsa looked at him. "In the afternoon? Dinner? "
Luke said, "You won't be able to sunbathe at night. Didn't you just say that the D.A. and the judge want us to step down our enforcement? You're on vacation now. "
Elsa didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she thought for a moment and nodded. "Fine. But why are you suddenly inviting me to dinner? "
Luke said, "I bought Chilean king crabs at the seafood market today. Let's try them together."
Elsa was lost for words.
Regular police officers wouldn't buy such things, since they were too expensive.
But Luke had actually bought them at the seafood market? The seafood market sold whole crabs, which couldn't be cheap.
She nodded and gave up on asking about the rich detective's daily expenses.
Luke and Selina left the house. Looking at the scenery on the street, Selina asked casually, "Where are we going now?"
"I'm looking for someone I don't know very well to run some errands," replied Luke casually.
As the car drove down the street, Luke suddenly remarked, "No wonder they want us to step down our enforcement. Why aren't there any of the familiar hooligans on the streets? I remember that there are usually a few hooligans selling weed on the two streets just now, right? "
Selina shifted in the passenger seat and subconsciously turned her head to look out the window. "Yes, that's right."
Dollar, who had been sitting in the backseat, suddenly lay down and lowered its ears as it peered at Luke in the front seat.
